Is it wrong to get to know Someone first?

Yes/no/maybe/probably/definitely/definitely not. If you want to, go for it, screw everyone else's opinion.

Is it wrong to get to know Someone first? There is nothing wrong with getting to know someone first BUT I have enough friends that I don't sleep with ... I need the chemistry to go along with friendship. Along the same path, when I break up with someone, I don't expect to be friends. We will be civil and friendly; however, since they were not my friends before we dated, we probably won't be friends afterward either. Never get trapped in the FRIEND ZONE!

I definitely believe in being friends first. It takes time to get to know people...I think we all put our "best food forward" in the early stages of a relationship. Don't you? It takes time to see "all sides" to someone...and time for us to feel comfortable letting our "hair down" with others too...I don't want to be in a rush. Being in a hurry has gotten me into "trouble" in the past...I need time to get to know people and don't want to feel pressured for "more" when I am not quite ready yet.

called me out on what? I have no problem answering things and I don't hide what I like or not. Some like the FWB thing. It's not for me. That is their business as far as I am concerned. I just assumed this was about the dating world.

Friendship is definatley the foundation to a good relationship. However, its the spontanious combustion, instant chemistry that gets me every time.

Yeah... Chemistry first and then HOPEFULLY we'll be long term compatible as friends... Speaking for myself and being honest, I'm not even sure that men and women can be friends in the deep platonic sense...

Just saying Allen....actually I get along with guys better. I am closer to guys as friends than I am with girls
